We’re looking for an SEO Manager

As SEO Manager, you’ll join our SEO Department, a key member of Built In’s Growth Division. The growth team is comprised of SEO specialists, writers, marketers and strategists who work across departments to grow Built In’s user and customer base. We are looking for someone who loves working on a variety of projects, enjoys solving puzzles, strongly values an “all-hands-on-deck” philosophy and can nimbly navigate a fast-paced, ever-evolving environment.

Who you are

The SEO Manager will report directly to the Head of SEO, SEM & Analytics and manage a team of SEO Strategists. Daily responsibilities will include:

Managing the day-to-day operations of the SEO team, including working with the department head to scope and prioritize initiatives

Leading the department’s reporting initiatives, such as building project dashboards, providing updates and gathering appropriate data

Communicating strategic initiatives to junior staff and building manageable, executable workflows designed to achieve those strategies

Helping in the execution of growth projects (i.e., content creation & curation, as well as any other tasks that may be needed)

We’re revolutionizing tech recruitment. So we question everything, because the best answers sit just to the right of a question mark. That’s our heritage as a disruptive company — as a company whose future depends on our capacity to innovate with a sense of drive, purpose and urgency. If you join Built In, you will work from this set of values:

Be Unreasonably Passionate. Our passion is borderline obsessive, and we’re ok with that. No one ever built anything great on a “meh.” We work with outsized passion to fulfill our mission.

Be Humble. You don’t have all the answers. Luckily, you don’t have to. Don’t worry about being right. Be humble instead.

Stay Curious. Curiosity is a springboard to the future. It can transform the wisp of an idea into a breakthrough. We ask “what if.” We work with wonder. It’s how we innovate.

Lead with Solutions. Question everything. But offer solutions as you do. Raise issues. But propose a few answers. For every hole you poke, offer a way to patch it up.

Own the Result. We have no time for blame or shame. When you stumble, own it, learn from it + get back to business.

Do More. Do more than your job description. Take initiative. Take charge. No job is beneath you, and no job is too big. Be a leader and do more — do whatever it takes.
